World Down Syndrome Day 2009
World Down Syndrome Day 2009 will be celebrated on 21st March.
The date was chosen to signify the relevance of Trisomy 21.
(3/21).
As President of Down Syndrome International I invite you all
to participate in recognising and celebrating that day worldwide,
to acknowledge our community of people with Down Syndrome
who have made such wonderful progress over the past decades.
Down Syndrome International at its Board meeting in March
2008 decided that a theme would not be set by the international
body and that individual organisations should be encouraged
to select their own theme each year which is relevant to their
situation and advertise this on the World Down Syndrome Day
and Down Syndrome International websites (www.ds-int.org).
Photos and reports of the day should then be posted as soon
as possible afterwards for all to enjoy. Plan now for this
big event, whether it be a local, district or national lets
all get involved so that we truly have a worldwide celebration.
